Format Painter Creating Unwanted Changes
I've got many numbered headings that I'm trying to format, abut six different
number levels. When I use the format painter, the format of the "to" text takes on the format of the "from" text," as I intended, but the format of the "from" text changes. Can anybody tell me how to stop the format of the "from" text from changing when I use the format painter. Further, even through the "to" and "from" text have the same style, the actual format of the style differs in the "to" and "from" text. I thought styles were fixed. If it matters, I've turned off all of the autoformat and autorcorrect features I could find, but this did not help. Thank you. |

Format Painter Creating Unwanted Changes
Hi ?B?VGlt?=,
I've got many numbered headings that I'm trying to format, abut six different number levels. When I use the format painter, the format of the "to" text takes on the format of the "from" text," as I intended, but the format of the "from" text changes. Can anybody tell me how to stop the format of the "from" text from changing when I use the format painter. Further, even through the "to" and "from" text have the same style, the actual format of the style differs in the "to" and "from" text. I thought styles were fixed. I'm a bit confused... 1. Which version of Word are we dealing with? 2. HOW does the formatting of the "from" text change? 3. If the "from" and "to" text are formatted with the same style, shouldn't they already be formatted identically? What kind of formatting are you trying to copy, then? If you (before using the format painter) select "from" and "to", then press Ctrl+Q followed by Ctrl+Spacebar, does the format of both now match? (This removes any formatting applied over the style.) And is this the formatting you want to see for them both?
